Hydrofluoric acid Hexafluorine® solution

Using the Dunser s table (Table 4.14 above), five accidents could have presented lethal risk among the 26 skin cases reports to hydrofluoric acid, but no sign of systemic effect was observed. Decontamination with HEXAFLUORINE solution was immediately performed in most of the cases and followed by calcium gluconate, if needed. No surgical treatment or long hospitalization was necessary, except with a delayed use, where the HF bum has already developed.
